Last I showed you our backyard was looking pretty good…
Look at all that pretty green grass.
Anywho, there were a few more things Justin wanted to accomplish out here since the new drainage and landscaping were finished. A few of the solar lights we had previously installed were broken. So, Justin purchased some new outdoor lights for the garden beds back here. He decided to go with regular electric lights. He moved the remaining solar lights that were still trucking along to the front yard. He purchased the new lights from lowes. Once he got home he started installing them…
Since the sod was freshly laid, Justin was able to run the cords from one garden to another right under the top layer….
While he was burying the new cords he came across this little guy…
He was just sleeping under the mulch and Justin dug up his bedding! So he buried the cord and then buried him under the mulch again. We saw him later the same night once the sun went down, we’re all friends now. Once Justin had finished installing all the lighting he added new mulch to all of the garden beds…
Charlie also helped…
This guy showed up too…
Isn’t he handsome? Love these little lizards.
After hanging out with the lizard I got some photos of the freshly finished backyard…
And you know I can’t help but give you some before, middle and after photos…
Check out how much the plants by the patio have grown!
I don’t have a before photo from this angle, but here is the mid way point and after…
We also got to see the new lights in action that night…
Aren’t they pretty?
Char man also hung out to check out the lighting…
It was already past Zack’s bed time.
We are thrilled with our backyard now. We may have some other ideas for the the fence and possibly another little garden. For now we are just happy to sit on the porch and enjoy the unflooded yard! It’s a far cry from this…
Don’t you think? PS the drainage works. Here is a photo I took immediately after a down pour…
BOOM! Do you see a drainage issue? I think not!
